Line 2:
[[File:ncis-poster.jpg|frame| From left to right (For Seasons 3-5): [[Military Maverick|Gibbs]], [[Da Chief|Jenny]], [[The Coroner|Ducky]], [[Perky Goth|Abby]], [[Handsome Lech|Tony]], [[Hollywood Nerd|McGee]], [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|and]] [[Badass Israeli|Ziva]].]]
Created by [[Donald P. Bellisario]] and Don McGill, ''NCIS'' is a spinoff of ''[[JAG]]'' that leaped on the [[Forensic Drama]] bandwagon started by ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'', with some traditional [[Crime and Punishment Series|Crime And Punishment]] and even a bit of [[Spy Drama]] thrown in for good measure. ''NCIS'' (''[[Department of Redundancy Department|Navy NCIS]]'' for its first season) depicts a team of investigators assigned to deal with criminal activity involving Navy personnel and Marines. That means that the entire gamut of crime -- from [[Serial Killer|Serial Killers]] to fraud to international espionage to Unauthorized Absences-- can turn up. This particular team is led by Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a retired Marine gunnery sergeant, and contains (surprise!) a rather colorful collection of detectives and lab workers. The series debuted in September 2003 and is still ongoing.
A classic example of a [[Sleeper Hit]], the show was largely ignored at the beginning of its run, but has gained viewers with virtually every season and as of 2012 is the number one scripted drama on network television.
Line 190:
** Tony in Season 4.
** Trent Kort, the CIA agent who also infiltrated René Benoît's arms-dealing enterprise.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: The show was originally named "Navy NCIS", despite the N standing for Navy. This was most likely done to prevent confusion with ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'', something which the series [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] occasionally.
* [[Determinator]]: Gibbs becomes one toward finding Ari over the course of the second season. A repeated motif is the one monitor on his desk that's dedicated to running a facial recognition program on Ari. After Ari briefly kidnaps Kate, Gibbs starts displaying Ahab-ish tendencies, which DiNozzo lampshades.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]:
Line 674:
'''McGee''': He figured it out for himself.}}
*** In the very early episodes, Gibbs is the one who is movie savvy.
** One Halloween episode has the team being mistaken for lousy ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'' cosplayers.
** In "Secrets", one of the neighbourhood-vigilante superheros being interrogated exclaims "Why on [[Marvel Universe|Earth 616]] would I kill a fellow superhero!?"
** When Tony refers to assistant coroner Palmer as "the autopsy gremlin", Gibbs' response is telling Tony to [[Gremlins|not get him wet.]]
